A couple months ago some Google Opinion Rewards survey-filler-outters received questions about the OnHub that suggested Google had new shells in the works. At least one of the three options provided looked like a paper towel holder, and the others could easily pass for trash cans. Google wanted to know which one people would be most willing to buy. Well, all three variants have appeared in the Google Store, where they're listed as coming soon.

Google said in a blog post that the shells are set to go on sale later today in the US for $29-$39. The company then proceeded to highlight OnHub Makers, a gallery of designs from various artists.

Creators produced designs that turned OnHubs into vases, lamps, and toys. Google is calling for more designers to take up the challenge of giving its little Internet-spewing cylinder a noteworthy appearance, so take a shot if you think turning the router into a paper towel holder just isn't going far enough.

WPS is the magic automatic attach-this-to-that button. Instead of inserting your wifi name and password on your device, you click the WPS button on your router, and the same button on your device. Done. Connected. That's the very definition of simple you wanted. Now you know WPS=simple.

Better add NFC. WPS is broken and everyone knows that

I don't understand, how will it know which device to prioritize when you wave your hand over it?

You have to set it up ahead of time, which is what makes it pointless.

Better look for Mikrotik. They're VERY GOOD.

Although they're ugly.

Till I saw the draft that was of 8946 dollars, I accept that my friend’s brother was like really generating cash in his free time with his pc. . His aunt's neighbor has done this for only 8 months and by now repaid the loan on their home and bought a new Car .Why not try this.

Now I don't just have an excuse to put a router in the middle of the room on a table -- now I really want to.

Damn this looks good. Not those strange random covers which mostly look like they put some glue on OnHub and threw it into a trash bin, no. The ones from the first screenshot for example, the original ones, some simple from random ones -- so minimalistic, so cool. Best google device in 2015.
